Overview of Larry’s Family 2 Care ALF

Larry’s Family 2 Care ALF operates a five-bed residential senior home in the Pinehurst Community neighborhood of Tampa, Florida. Administered by Kirenia Guzman Martinez, the property uses a small-scale board and care setup that allows for close oversight of its residents. The home is staffed to support multiple care levels, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing-level support, enabling individuals to adjust their services if their physical needs change over time.

The surrounding neighborhood is car-dependent, meaning staff and visitors require a vehicle for daily shopping and errands. To help families manage care expenses, the facility accepts Medicaid benefits and Veterans Affairs assistance. Daily routines include a structured mix of social and physical activities, such as exercise classes, music programs, dancing, gardening, and movie showings.

The bilingual staff coordinates care in both English and Spanish. State regulatory records indicate that past inspections focused primarily on administrative themes like recordkeeping, food services, and emergency plan layouts, with a history of resolving identified items through standard corrective actions.

Prospective representatives can contact the Tampa office to discuss vacancy updates and current monthly rates.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Tampa, FL

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Florida?

Assisted living in Florida is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities.
